Ecclesiastes 4:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ A poor but wise youth is better than an old and foolish king, who no longer listens to advice. ¹⁴ He emerged from prison to become king, even though during his rule a poor child^[a] is born. ¹⁵ I saw all who live and walk under the sun following the next youth who would rise to take his place.
